AUTOMATIC CRYING DOLL.

SPEGIFICATION'Iormingpart of Letters Patent No. 489,014, January 3,1893.

Application filed December 8, 1891- Serinl lie. 413,887. (No model.)

' will cause sounds to be given forth.

I will describe my invention as applied to a doll, as I consider thesame one of the mostdesin-able forms in which the invention can be used.

Figure 1 is a section of my apparatus detached from the doll; Fig. 2 isa section of one of the pipes showing the reed in position; Fig. 3 is aperspective view showing the reed; Fig. 4 is a front view, showing myapparatus in position in the doll.

B B are two flexible pouches or bags preferably formed of rubber, and AA are nonflexible cases surrounding said pouches.

C is a hollow stand having perforations and to this stand is connectedthe fl exiblepouch B and easing A, the lower portion of the easing -A isremoved and the ends connected to the connecting joint of neck D. Thisneck or joint D isalso connected to the flexible pouch or bag B. Thecasing A and pouch B being connected together at the neck D.

c is a hollow tube or pipe which opens at one end into the casing A at cbis another pipe or tube which opens into casing Af at b Each of thesepipes contain a reed b c at or near the free end, I) c, said reeds beingadapted to be acted upon by air when the air is moving in the directionrespectively denoted by the arrows. A pipe (it, provided with a reed -aadapted to act in either direction passes into the hollow stand 0. Theopening into said stand being only sufficiently large to admi t saidpipe.

The operation is as follows: Supposing the apparatus to be in theposition shown in Fig. 1 and itbe turned end for end or ina horizontalposition, the water which is contained in the pouch B passes through theflexible neck into the case A compressing the flexible bag B, drivingout the water through the pipe a and sounding the reed a. At the sametime the water pressure on the flexible bag B closes the pipe b at thepoint I) and opens the pipe 0 at the point e, and the air passesinthrough the pipe 0, and in its entrance passing through reed a, into thecasingA, also causing a noise. When the apparatus is again reversed thewater passes back into the pouch B allowing pouch B to expand and theair passes into said pouch through the pipe a through reed a whilethepressure of the water in the pouch B closes the openings 0 of thepipesc, and the pressure is removed ontheend of the pipe b so that theair in the case A is forced out through said pipe B and through thereed.

I have described in this apparatus, (in the with a fixed air casingsurrounding it. It is evident that the upper section might be used witha lower section adapted to contain water and without the other parts ofthe lower section, and in the same way the lower section mightbe usedwith an uppersection adapted to hold water only, and without the otherportions of said upper part of said drawings, Fi l.

-Fifhen this apparatus is used with a doll the reeds may be soconstructed as to give the imitation of a cry and the reeds may be fixedat diiferent tones so as to create discord.

Having now fully described my invention,

.what I claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:-

'1. In combination, a flexible pouch or bag adapted to hold air, anon-flexible case surrounding said pouch or bag, an outlet from saidpouch to the air, a reed in said outlet, a water receptacle andconnection between said water receptacle and case. A

2. In combination, afiexible bag or pouch adapted to hold water,anon-flexible case surrounding said pouch or bag, an outlet to the airin the upper portion of said case and an outlet to the air in the lowerportion of said case, a reed in each'of said-outlets, a water receptacleand connection between said water receptacle and said flexible bag orpouch.

3. In combination, a flexible bag or pouch adapted to hold water,anon-flexible case surtween said water receptacle and flexible bag.

4. In combination, a flexible bag or pouch adapted to hold water, anon-flexible case surrounding said pouch or bag, an outlet from saidcase to the air,'a reed in said outlet, a water receptacle, andconnection between said fiwvater receptacle and said flexible bag.

5. In combination, a flexible pouch or bag adapted to hold air, anon-flexible case surrounding said pouch or bag, an outlet from 15 saidpouch to the air, a reed in said outlet, a flexible bag or pouch adaptedto hold water, connection between said water pouch and said case, anon-flexible case surroundingsaid water pouch, outlets from said case tothe air, and a reed in each of said outlets.

In testimony whereof I atfix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
